We partnered with our friends at Blanton’s and aged our Imperial Stout for 18 months in barrels from one of the world’s most sought-after bourbons—Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon. Taken from the center-cut or middle sections of the famous Warehouse H, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once only available for ambassadors, dignitaries, and friends of the Blanton family, but now is available for everyone to enjoy. Just as we set the standard for barrel-aged stouts, Blanton’s set the standard for single barrel bourbons. Through our partnership, we created a truly unique reserve filled with rich dark chocolate and oak notes, finished with warm aromatics of baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Fles geprobeerd met Keukeman en Benzai op een tasting bij Addictee2craftBeer. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier. Het heeft een aroma van bourbon en kaneel. De smaak is vol, bourbon en kaneel. Heerlijk!

Bottle shared by TJ. Thanks TJ! Aroma is dark fruit, toffee, caramel. The flavor reminds me more of a barley wine rather then a stout. Heavy on dark fruit with hints of raisins, figs, prunes. Very mild sweetness that doesn’t become cloying. The over 15% is pretty well masked. Bourbon is here but does NOT slap you in the face. Awesome!

Split 3 ways aroma is bourbon, chocolate, oak, dark fruit. Taste is smooth, creamy with a rich mouth feel. Dark fruit, raisin, fig prune, toffee, nice taste with smooth finish. Barrel is here but is subdued. Stout or Barley wine? Really nice.

Finishing off my Media Preview stoppered bottles from October. This came with a 50 ml sampler of Blanton's, to taste against the beer. First time trying a BBA beer along with the bourbon who's barrels made it. The bourbon smells rather bright, more alcoholic for sure. The beer still has nice noses of chocolate and vanillin from barrel char. Beer is black, a viscous edge around the glass with a very few bubbles visible (it was opened and stoppered a month ago). The bourbon has strong alcohol, burns going down. The beer taste is actually minimal on bourbon taste. It's alcoholic, yes, but without the burn of a 90+ proof liquor. Instead smoothed by the roasted stout malts.
